I want to sync the geth client and after i installed it on osx i executed "geth" in the terminal window. geth started snycinc and i check the sync status over the command:
geth --exec 'var s = eth.syncing; console.log("\n------------ GETH SYNCING PROGRESS\nprogress: " + (s.currentBlock/s.highestBlock*100)+ " %\nblocks left to parse: "+ (s.highestBlock-s.currentBlock) + "\ncurrent Block: " + s.currentBlock + " of " + s.highestBlock)' attach
After 13 hours it reached the following state(output of command):
------------ GETH SYNCING PROGRESS
progress: 99.99573362244315 %
blocks left to parse: 204
current Block: 4781370 of 4781574
undefined
And it stucks there since 4 hours. my chaindata folder is now 40.03 GB big and its getting bigger. But slow. The geth client which is syncing is running. Example output from syncing:

https://etherscan.io/chart2/chaindatasizefast says that the blockchain size with fast snyc is only 35GB big. How big is the real Blockchain and why can't i find the real size???
